Crypto 360°

Although this has been repeated a million times before, I think it's still appropriate to warn new users in this space. I've seen a couple of noobs stumble upon the abovementioned sub / websites, thinking that these resources represent BTC. Indeed, they are trying very hard to conceil the fact that they are a miniscule and unimportant part of the space trying to gain significance. However, they failed doing so over the course of the last 3-4 years.

In short, they are trying to push a fake Bitcoin clone called B.CH (I'm writing the dot because auto-mod doesn't like talk about alt-coins). If you don't know about the history of how these sites came about, google "the fork war" during 2017. You'll see that a faction of people split up from Bitcoin (thank god) to roll out their own shitcoin. However, at this point, they are basically a bunch of bitter propagandists, defining their community as being "against" BTC, and trying to trick noobs into thinking that their fork is the "real" Bitcoin.

You'll see that their main argument is that this sub is heavily cens.ored (which is true, look how ridiculous I am trying to avoid auto-deletions), but the reason for that is not to silence opposing views (we can discuss about opposing technical views here all day), but mostly to keep this sub clean (imagine what it would look like here, if moderation wasn't harsh. Ever been on Twitter?)

In any case: STAY AWAY FROM THESE TOXIC PLACES. They operate through hate and fear and you'll learn things only from one single perspective. Do your own research. Do not trust but verify.

Edit: They have spotted this post! Shitcoin downvote army incoming, brace yourself! They will shill "why not diversify" or "there are better crypto's out there", "Lightning network doesn't work" and the same shxt they've been repeating over and over.

Edit 2: This post has gone from 95% upvoted to 79% in an instant ;) Nice.

Why I refuse to sell: the tomato plant parable 🍅

Bitcoin is my only tomato plant. In fact this tomato plant is the only thing I have to eat right now. It is still young, and I am extremely hungry.

I don't know what I'm going to eat next month. I don't know if I'll even have the energy to make the trip home to see my family.

My plant has a few small tomatoes on it, barely edible. They would maybe get me through a couple weeks or a month, but I know I'd be better off waiting until they've reached maturity before eating them. If I can wait that long, their sustenance will keep me going for much longer.

My plant has a few small leaves on it, should I eat them to tide me over? Skim a little off the top? No. That would hinder my plant's ability to fully ripen, and the nourishment I'd get from its leaves isn't anywhere near that of a fully grown tomato plant.

So I will be patient and wait until my plant has fat, red tomatoes before harvesting. And even then I'll save some of its seeds to plant each spring, giving me a bigger and bigger harvest each year. I might be late in making a trip back home to be with family, but at least I'll show up nourished from patient endurance and not emaciated from unripened opportunity.
